DISHWASHER CARE
CLEANING
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all
that is necessary to clean outside of your dishwasher.
Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a clean, soft cloth to remove
debris.
IMPORTANT: Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing
chlorine to clean the stainless steel door.
Control Panel
Gently clean the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion if the
dishwasher should be scratched or dented.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces,
especially just beneath the door area.
